such holders pursuant to a Proposed Purchase (the Proposed Purchase ) of
all outstanding shares, other than those held by Gretchen Oswald, for a
purchase price of $0.25 per share. Smith Dougherty Inc. is an independent
valuation firm regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their

gift and income taxes, and other business and personal financial planning
purposes.
In reaching our conclusion, we have, among other things:
1. Analyzed the audited financial statements of the Company for the years
ended December 31, 1991 through 1995.
2. Visited the facilities of the Company in Bethel Park, PA and Irwin, PA
and conducted discussions with management concerning the Company's
history, operations, financial condition, prospects, industry forces
and trends.
3. Reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for the
shares of the Company's Common Stock.
4. Reviewed independent appraisals of the Company's real property located
in Puerto Rico.
5. Reviewed information on current conditions and outlooks for the general
economy and for the industries in which the Company deals.
6. Reviewed information on litigation and environmental matters involving
the Company.

as to the impact of said debt on the going concern value of the
Company.

Our analysis and judgments assume the accuracy and completeness of the
information and representations provided to us orally and in writing. We
assume that there are no material changes in such information and
representations since they were received.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as we
consider relevant, it is our opinion as of this date that the consideration

the Proposed Purchase is fair to such holders from a financial point of
view.

SUMMARY
As of the date of this Information Statement, the Company has
approximately 4,227 holders of record of its issued and outstanding Common
Stock. The Common Stock is currently registered under the Exchange Act and
is traded over the counter. Such registration is expected to be terminated
by the Company since the Common Stock will be held by less than 300 holders
of record. (See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Certain Effects of the Transaction.")
The Board of Directors has determined to (i) effect a 50,000-for-1
reverse stock split of the presently issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, (ii) make a cash payment of $0.25 per share in lieu of the
issuance of fractional shares which result from the reverse stock split
(or, in the event the stockholder holds stock in the name
"Calculator-Computer Leasing Corporation," the predecessor corporation to
Electric M & R Inc., make a cash payment of $0.025 per share, to give
effect to the 10-to-one reverse stock split effected in 1980 pursuant to
which 10 shares of stock in the name "Calculator-Computer Leasing
Corporation" are equivalent to one share of stock in the name Electric M &
R Inc.) (the "Fractional Share Price"), and (iii) terminate its
registration under the Exchange Act. As a result of the reverse stock
split, 50,000 old shares of Common Stock (the " Old Common Stock") will be
exchanged for one new share of common stock (the "New Common Stock"), and
fractional shares will receive $0.25 per share (or $0.025 per share as
previously noted) in lieu of shares of New Common Stock. (See "SPECIAL
FACTORS -- Certain Effects of the Transaction.") The reverse stock split
will be accomplished through an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and will be effective, as described more fully herein, when
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the"Effective
Date").
The Company elected to use a reverse stock split on the advice of
counsel. Reverse stock splits are commonly used to effectuate "going
private" transactions. The Company had considered pursuing a "going
private" transaction for many years and elected to pursue the transaction
at this time due to the increasing burdens of compliance with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the virtual absence of a public
market of the Company's stock. No alternatives were considered to
accomplish the stated purposes of the Transaction.
Effect on Current Record Holders of Less than 50,000 Shares
The current record holders of Common Stock that own less than 50,000
shares of Old Common Stock (who collectively own less than 46% of the
outstanding shares of Old Common Stock) will (i) receive the
nontransferable right to receive the Fractional Share Price for each share
of Old Common Stock, (ii) not receive any shares of New Common Stock,
(iii) no longer have any equity interest in the Company and (iv) not
participate in any future earnings of the Company or any increases in the
value of the Company's assets or operations after the Transaction. (See
"REVERSE STOCK SPLIT INFORMATION -- Effecting the Transaction.")
<PAGE>
Effect on Current Record Holders of More than 50,000 Shares
After and as a result of the Transaction, the number of record holders
of Common Stock will decrease from approximately 4,227 to one. Ms.
Gretchen Oswald, the sole record holder of Common Stock that owns 50,000 or
more shares of Old Common Stock (who individually owns more than 54% of the
currently outstanding shares) will (i) receive one share of New Common
Stock for every 50,000 shares of Old Common Stock held by her, (ii) receive
the nontransferable right to receive the Fractional Share Price for each
share of Old Common Stock which is less than a multiple of 50,000, and
(iii) continue to have an equity interest in the Company and participate in
any future earnings of the Company or any increases in the value of the
Company's assets or operations after the Transaction. (See "REVERSE STOCK
SPLIT INFORMATION -- Effecting the Transaction.")
<PAGE>
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As a result of the Transaction, the percent of Common Stock owned or
controlled by Ms. Oswald will change from 54% to 100%. (See"PRINCIPAL
HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES.")
The Board of Directors and Ms. Oswald believe the Fractional Share
Price is fair to the Company"s stockholders based on the recommendation of
the sole independent director of the Board of Directors who determined that
the Fractional Share price is fair after taking into consideration: (i)
current and historical market prices for the Common Stock and
the de minimis or infrequent trading of the shares over the last 10 years;
(ii) operational losses and costs of meeting reporting obligations: (iii)
the valuation report and fairness opinion rendered by Smith Dougherty Inc.
(collectively, the "Smith Opinion") (iv) the lack of any offers made by
unaffiliated persons within the past 18 months (See "SPECIAL FACTORS --
Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Transaction.")
As a result of the Transaction, the Company will eliminate the cost
and expense to the Company of Exchange Act reporting, which is
approximately $25,000 on an annual basis. The Company continues to incur
such expenses even though there is not now, and for over 10 years there
has not been, other than generally de minimis and sporadic, trading in
shares of Common Stock. (See"SPECIAL FACTORS--Purpose of the Transaction.")
Under the Delaware Law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
stockholders of the Company will not be entitled to appraisal rights for
dissenting stockholders if the Transaction is approved. Stockholders,
however, will be entitled to any rights and remedies available to
stockholders under Delaware law relating to the fiduciary duties of the
Board of Directors of the Company. (See "REVERSE STOCK SPLIT INFORMATION
- --Appraisal and Other Rights.")

reverse stock split, as more fully described herein (the "Transaction"). A
copy of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the

consent without a meeting, approving this amendment upon the expiration of
the twenty (20) day waiting period prescribed by Section 14 of the Exchange
Act and Regulation 14C thereunder. (See "PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING
SECURITIES.") However, if Ms. Oswald does not consent to the amendment,
then such amendment will not become effective.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in June 1968. It principally
manufactures and sells electrical lighting fixtures and electric motors and
related services.
The principal markets for electrical lighting fixtures are firms
engaged in the installation of electrical fixtures in construction projects
and firms installing new or replacement electrical fixtures in their own
facilities. The principal market for electric motors and related services
is industry in the Western Pennsylvania area.
The Company also owns real estate in Luquillo, Puerto Rico which it
has held as investment property and is currently trying to sell.
<PAGE>
The sale of the Company's products is conducted by direct retail sales
to manufacturers or sales to distributors. Real estate sales are conducted
by agents of the Company.
There have been no significant changes in the kinds of products or
services rendered or in markets or methods of distributions since the
beginning of the Company's fiscal year.
The sources and availability of raw material essential to the
Company's business are not significant factors; however, the profitability
of the Company's manufacture, remanufacture, repair and sale of coils,
lighting products, transformers, electric motors and similar equipment is
affected by the price of materials.
Patents, licenses, franchises and concessions are not significant
factors to the Company's business. Also, none of the Company's segments
are significantly seasonal.
There are three significant customers of the Company's Electrical
Lighting Products Division and one significant customer of the Company's
Electrical Motor Repair Division. These customers accounted for
approximately 90% and 10% of the net revenue of each respective division
and 58% of the Company's total net sales. All significant customers are
independent of the Company.
Certain Historical and Pro Forma Information
Historical and pro forma information for the Company for the Year

1996 and September 30, 1996 are included in the Company's reports on Forms
10-KSB/A, 10-QSB/A and 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission which accompany this Information Statement and are incorporated

SPECIAL FACTORS
Purpose of the Transaction
The purpose of the Transaction is to terminate the equity interests in
the Company by the approximately 4,226 record holders of Common Stock that
own fewer than 50,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price determined to be
fair by both the sole independent director on the Board of Directors and
the entire Board of Directors, and to permit the Company to deregister the
Common Stock under the Exchange Act in order to eliminate the cost and
expense to the Company of Exchange Act reporting. Of the present 4,227
record holders of Common Stock, only one owns more than 50,000 shares of
Common Stock (representing approximately 54% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock) and approximately 4,226 own fewer than 50,000
shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 46% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock).
<PAGE>
Stockholders owning fewer than 50,000 shares of Common Stock will no
longer have any equity interest in the Company and will not participate in
any future earnings of the Company or any increases in the value of the
Company's assets or operations. Further, the sole stockholder that will
continue to have an equity interest in the Company after the Transaction
will own a security the liquidity of which will be restricted. The
Fractional Share Price offered by the Company for fractional share
interests was not determined in arms length negotiations or on the basis of
over the counter trading of the Common Stock and therefore does not
necessarily reflect an actual market value of the Common Stock. (See
"SPECIAL FACTORS -- Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of
the Transaction.")
The Transaction is structured to be a "going private" transaction as
defined in Rule 13e-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act because it is
intended to, and, if completed, will likely terminate the Company's
reporting requirements under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. In
connection with the Transaction, the Company has filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a Schedule 13E-3 pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the
Exchange Act.
The Transaction will (i) cause the Company to redeem shares held by
approximately 4,227 holders of record of Common Stock, (ii) not eliminate
the sole record holder who holds more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock,
(iii) reduce the number of shares, on a pro-rata basis, held by the holder
of record who holds more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iv)
change the percentage of Common Stock held by all remaining stockholders by
100%.
The Company elected to use a reverse stock split on the advice of
counsel. Reverse stock splits are commonly used to effectuate "going
private" transactions. The Company had considered pursuing a "going
private" transaction for many years and elected to pursue the transaction
at this time due to the increasing burdens of compliance with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the virtual absence of a public
market of the Company's stock. No alternatives were considered to
accomplish the purposes stated herein for the Transaction.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Transaction
The Board of Directors considered the Transaction at a Special Meeting
of the Board of Directors held on May 3, 1996. In addition to all of the
Directors, also present at the meeting by invitation of the Board were
Thomas A. Dougherty, J.D., C.P.A., of Smith Dougherty Inc. and David G
Edwards, Esquire of Doepken Keevican & Weiss Professional Corporation.
Initially, the Board noted that four of the five directors serve as, or are
related to, officers of the Company. Accordingly, the Board adopted a
resolution delegating responsibility for all decisions relating to the
Transaction to the sole independent director, Mr. Richard MacQuown, and
agreeing to abide by his ultimate recommendation, whether his decision was
in favor of or against effecting a going private transaction for the
Company.
<PAGE>
Mr. MacQuown determined that the Fractional Share Price, and the
Transaction are fair to the Company's stockholders who will be receiving
the Fractional Share Price and whose equity interest in the Company will be
terminated as a result of the Transaction. In reaching his conclusion, Mr.
MacQuown took into account the factors discussed below. Based solely on
Mr. MacQuown's determination and without consideration of the merits of the
same, the Board adopted a resolution recommending that the stockholders
adopt the amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation effecting
the reverse stock split.
Mr. MacQuown, the Board of Directors, and Ms. Oswald believe the
Transaction to be fair even though it was not conditioned upon the approval
of a majority of the unaffiliated shareholders since the Fractional Share
Price to be paid to each stockholder was evaluated for fairness based on
the factors listed. No unaffiliated representative was retained to act
solely on behalf of unaffiliated stockholders for the purposes of
negotiating the terms of the Transaction.
Current and Historical Market Prices/Level of Trading
Mr. MacQuown considered the historical and recent market prices of the
stock (see "PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK; DIVIDENDS; TRADING VOLUME"). Mr.
MacQuown recognized that there is not now, and for over 10 years there has
not been, other than de minimis or infrequent trading in the Common Stock.
Mr. MacQuown further believes that, given the historical trading volume and
the lack of interest in the stock on the buy side, the price of the stock
would likely decline below $0.25 if a significant number of shares were
offered for sale. Mr. MacQuown's belief is based on the limited demand for
the stock in recent years and the customary effect that additional supply
has on a stock's market price, the price being determined by the
relationship of supply and demand.
Additionally, upon inquiry from Mr. MacQuown about the viewpoints of
Carr Securities, the market maker for the Company's stock. Mr. Dougherty
reported that Mr. John Sanford of Carr Securities, believed the value of
the Company's stock to be de minimis or of zero value.
Mr. MacQuown gave limited weight to this factor in his evaluation of
fairness. This factor supports the determination that the Fractional Share
Price and the Transaction are fair to the stockholders.
Operational Losses and Costs of Meeting Reporting Obligations
Mr. MacQuown considered the Company's history of operational losses
and the estimated $25,000 annual costs of continuing to meet the reporting
requirements for a public company. In addition, Mr. MacQuown noted that the
Company does not expect significant improvements in its operations which
would justify continuing operations as a public company. Mr. MacQuown
considered this factor to be material in making his fairness determination.
This factor supports the determination that the Fractional Share Price and
the Transaction are fair to the stockholders.
<PAGE>
Smith Opinion
Mr. MacQuown gave most consideration in his fairness determination to
the Smith Opinion which provides a going concern value, as determined using
a market approach valuation, for the Company of $184,000, or $0.25 per
share, and states that the consideration offered to the stockholders
(i.e., the "Fractional Share Price" of $0.25 per share) was fair to such
holders from a financial point of view. The Smith Opinion states that
the Fractional Share Price is a fair market value for the shares of the
Company, where fair market value is defined as: The price at which the
property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller,
neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both having
reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. (This definition, used for
federal estate and gift tax purposes, has taken on universal application in
the valuation of closely held securities.) In reaching this conclusion,
Smith Dougherty (i) analyzed the audited financial statements of the
Company for the years ended December 31, 1991 through December 31, 1995;
(ii) visited the facilities of the Company in Bethel Park, PA and Irwin, PA
and conducted discussions with management concerning the Company's history,
operations, financial condition, prospects, industry forces and trends;
(iii) reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for the
shares of the Company's common stock; (iv) reviewed independent appraisals
of the Company's real property located in Puerto Rico; (v) reviewed
information on current conditions and outlooks, for the general economy and
for the industries in which the Company deals; (vi) reviewed information on
litigation and environmental matters involving the Company; and (vii)
studied information on the debt condition of the Company, specifically as
to the impact of said debt on the going concern value of the Company. This
factor supports the determination that the Fractional Share Price and the
Transaction are fair to the stockholders.
The valuation provided by Smith Dougherty Inc. was subject to the
following assumptions and limiting conditions: (i) information, estimates,
financial statements and opinions supplied by management were accurate and
reliable; (ii) the various estimates of value presented apply to the
valuation contained therein; and (iii) the Company will continue as a going
concern and the character of its present business will remain intact. No
limitations were imposed by the Company on the scope of the investigation.
Upon inquiry from Mr. MacQuown during the Board meeting, Mr. Dougherty
acknowledged that if Mr. Vincent Oswald were to call in his demand notes,
the fractional share price would be a "fire-sale" asset price and would be
less that $0.25 per share. However, since Mr. Oswald had agreed not to
demand payment on his notes for the year ending December 31, 1996, Mr.
Dougherty did not use this approach. The "going concern" approach provides
the highest value for the stockholders.
Smith Dougherty is a professional business valuation firm specializing
in the appraisal of closely held entities. At the time of its selection,
Smith Dougherty Inc. had no prior business relationships with the Company
or any of its officers or directors. It was selected upon the
recommendation of the Company's auditors, McCrory and McDowell, following
an interview in which its qualifications were considered and evaluated.
The fee received by Smith Dougherty Inc. for its services was not
contingent upon the conclusions reached by Smith Dougherty Inc. in the
Smith Opinion and Smith Dougherty did not recommend the amount of
consideration to be paid to the stockholders.
<PAGE>
Lack of Offers
Mr. MacQuown considered the fact that no tender offers for sale or
merger of the Company had been made by an unaffiliated person in the past
18 months. Mr. MacQuown gave limited weight to this factor in his fairness
determination. This factor supports the determination that the Fractional
Share Price and the Transaction are fair to the stockholders.
Certain Effects of the Transaction
The Transaction can be expected to have the following significant
effects:
Market for Common Stock; Exchange Act Registration
The Company believes that the Transaction will reduce the number of
record stockholders from approximately 4,227 to 1. The number of shares
which might otherwise trade publicly will change from 2,000,000 to 40.
The Company also believes that completion of the Transaction will cause the
market for shares of Common Stock, which at present is virtually
nonexistent, to be eliminated, except for privately negotiated transactions
with the sole remaining stockholder.
The Common Stock is currently registered under the Exchange Act. Such
registration may be terminated by the Company if the Common Stock is no
longer held by 300 or more stockholders of record. Termination of
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act would substantially
reduce the information required to be furnished by the Company to its
stockholders and to the Commission and would make certain provisions of the
Exchange Act, such as the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act in connection with stockholders meetings and the
related requirement of an annual report to stockholders, no longer
applicable to the Company. Accordingly, for a total cost to the Company of
approximately $30,000, the Company will eliminate the cost and expense to
the Company of the Exchange Act registration, which is approximately
$25,000 on an annual basis. The Company intends to apply for such
termination as soon as practicable following completion of the Transaction.
<PAGE>
Accretion in Ownership and Control of Certain Stockholders
At present, the Company believes that only one record holder of the
Company's Common Stock owns 50,000 or more shares of Common Stock. That
record holder is both a director and an executive officer of the Company.
After and as a result of the Transaction, the percent of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company held by this stockholder will increase from
54% to 100%. There are no stockholders owning more than 50,000 shares who
are not affiliated with the Company.
Stockholders now owning fewer than 50,000 shares of Common Stock will
no longer continue to have an equity interest in the Company and,
accordingly, will not participate in future earnings, if any, of the
Company.
Financial Effects
The Transaction and the use of approximately $126,000 cash to
complete the Transaction are not expected to have any material effect on
the Company's capitalization, liquidity, results of operations and cash
flow. (See "BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY - Certain Historical and Pro Forma
Information" and "REVERSE STOCK SPLIT INFORMATION - Financing the
Transaction.")

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT INFORMATION
Effecting the Transaction
The Transaction, if approved, will be effected by an amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation whereby the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock will be reduced from 2,000,000 shares to 40 shares
and the par value of the common stock will be increased from $1.00 per
share to $50,000.00 per share. The Company will not issue fractional
shares but in lieu thereof, will pay the Fractional Share Price for each
share of Old Common Stock which is less than a multiple of 50,000. A copy
of the proposed form of amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation is attached as Exhibit A to this Information Statement.
In connection with the Transaction, a single share of New Common Stock
will be exchanged for every 50,000 shares of Old Common Stock presently
issued and outstanding. The Company believes that there is only one
record holder of the Company's Common Stock that owns more than 50,000
shares of Common Stock. Such shareholder is a director and an executive
officer of the Company. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in
connection with the Transaction, any fractional share of New Common Stock
that would otherwise result from the Transaction will instead be
automatically converted into the right to receive the Fractional Share
Price paid for each share of Old Common Stock held immediately prior to the
Transaction. Holders of Common Stock who own 50,000 shares, or a multiple
thereof, will receive one share of New Common Stock for each 50,000 shares
of Old Common Stock owned, and holders of Common Stock who do not own a
multiple of 50,000 shares will receive the Fractional Share Price for each
share of Old Common Stock which is less than a multiple of 50,000 in lieu
of the issuance of certificates for fractional shares of New Common Stock.
Such exchange and/or payment will be made by the Company upon the physical
surrender by stockholders of their stock certificates for Common Stock
pursuant to the transmittal instructions to be mailed by the Company to
stockholders.
In determining which stockholders of the Company own fewer than 50,000
shares (a"Fractional Stockholder"), the Company will consider the number of
shares of Common Stock held of record by each person who appears as the
owner of shares as of the Effective Date on the record of stockholders
maintained by the Company.
<PAGE>
Effective Date of the Transaction
If the proposal to effect the Transaction is approved, on the
Effective Date, each certificate representing shares of Old Common Stock
will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the
appropriate reduced number of shares of New Common Stock and/or the right
to receive a cash payment for any fractional share interests.
The Company will send letters of transmittal to stockholders for use
in transmitting their stock certificates to the Company in exchange for new
certificates, cash, or some combination thereof, as appropriate. No cash
payment or delivery of a new certificate will be made to a stockholder
until such stockholder's outstanding certificates together with the letter
of transmittal are delivered to the Company. The cash payment will be paid
after the Effective Date in cash, net to the stockholder and without
interest, with respect to all fractional shares of New Common Stock.
Stockholders will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions or
any transfer taxes with respect to sales of any fractional share of New
Common Stock pursuant to the reverse stock split. Officers and employees of
the Company will perform the functions required of the Company for this
Transaction without additional compensation.
Financing the Transaction
The Board of Directors estimates that the total costs to be incurred
by the Company in connection with the Transaction for payment of fractional
shares interests, including transactional expenses of $30,000 will be
approximately $126,000. The Company will fund the Transaction by
utilizing cash proceeds from the completed sale of property it owned in
Irwin, Pennsylvania for the amount of $224,000.
Appraisal and Other Rights
Under the Delaware Law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
stockholders of the Company will not be entitled to appraisal rights for
dissenting stockholders if the Transaction is approved. Stockholders will
be entitled to any rights and remedies available under Delaware Law
relating to fiduciary duties of directors.
<PAGE>
Conduct of the Company's Business After the Transaction
If the Transaction is effected, the Company believes that it will have
one stockholder of record. In such event, the Company will terminate the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the
Company will cease the filing of periodic reports, proxy statements
and other reports and documents otherwise required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expects its business and
operations to continue as they are currently being conducted and the
Transaction is not anticipated to have any effect upon the conduct of such
business, other than as set forth under "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Certain Effects
of the Transaction." If the Transaction is completed, stockholders holding
fewer than 50,000 shares at the Effective Date will no longer have any
interest in, and will not be stockholders of the Company and therefore will
not participate in its future potential of earnings and growth, if any.
Instead, each such holder of Common Stock will have the right to receive,
and will receive the Fractional Share Price in cash for each share of Old
Common Stock.
Except as set forth herein, and except for the potential sale of
a portion of real property owned by the Company in Puerto Rico for an
estimated $1 million, which proceeds will be used to partially repay
outstanding indebtedness owed to an affiliate who has not agreed to
continue to forbear from demanding payment on such indebtedness upon the
sale of this property, the Company does not have any present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any extraordinary corporate
transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or any changes in the Company's present capitalization or any
other change in the Company's corporate structure or business (other than
pursuant to the Transaction) or the composition of its management. The
Company has no plan or proposal in effect or contemplated that would result
in a change in the present management or Board of Directors of the Company
and each present member of the Board of Directors has indicated an
intention to continue to serve until the next annual meeting of
stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will continue to review its
business, operations, markets and economic environments, and the Board of
Directors or management may propose or develop additional or new plans or
proposals or may propose the acquisition or disposition of assets or other
changes in the Company's business, capital structure or dividend policies
which it considers to be in the best interests of the Company.
Expenses
The following is an estimate of the costs and expenses incurred or
expected to be incurred by the Company in connection with the Transaction.
Amounts shown below exclude the cost of paying for fractional share
interests after the Transaction is effected.
Legal fees and expenses $10,000
Opinion and Appraisal fee $11,000
Transfer Agent fees $ 0
SEC and other filing fees $ 150
Printing and mailing costs $ 8,000
Miscellaneous $ 850
Total $30,000
<PAGE>
Disposition of Unclaimed Cash Payments
As discussed above, the Company will make a cash payment of $0.25 per
share (or $0.025 per share), in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares,
to stockholders of record on the Effective Date. If the Company is unable
to locate any stockholder, the Company will dispose of the amount
otherwise payable to such stockholder in accordance with applicable state
laws regarding unclaimed property. Such laws provide that property that
is unclaimed or abandoned after a specified period, generally five to seven
years, shall be delivered to the state in which the stockholder last
resided by the person in possession of such unclaimed property.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SUMMARIZING CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES IS BASED ON CURRENT LAW AND IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY. SUCH DISCUSSION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN TYPES
OF STOCKHOLDERS, SUCH AS TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS AND FOREIGN STOCKHOLDERS.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE FEDERAL,
STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX EFFECTS OF THE TRANSACTION IN LIGHT OF THEIR
INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
The receipt of shares of New Common Stock in exchange for shares of
Old Common Stock will not result in the recognition of gain or loss by a
stockholder, and the aggregate tax basis of a stockholder in all of the
stockholder's shares of New Common Stock will be the same as the
stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the stockholder's shares of Old Common
Stock for which shares of New Common Stock are exchanged. Accordingly, it
is not expected that stockholders owning 50,000 or more shares of Common
Stock will incur any tax liability in connection with the Transaction,
except to the extent of cash payments for any fractional shares of New
Common Stock.
The receipt of cash for fractional shares by a stockholder pursuant to
the Transaction will be a taxable transaction for federal income tax
purposes. A stockholder owning fewer than 50,000 shares will receive only
cash in the Transaction and will recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference between the cash received and the stockholder's adjusted tax
basis in the surrendered shares of Old Common Stock. The gain or loss
recognized generally will be capital gain or loss if the Common Stock is
held as a capital asset. Any such capital gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the stockholder's holding period for the
Common Stock exceeds one year as of the Effective Date.
A stockholder who owns 50,000 or more shares of Old Common Stock but
does not hold a number of shares of Old Common Stock that is evenly
divisible by 50,000 will receive both shares of New Common Stock and cash
in lieu of a fractional share of the New Common Stock. The sole
stockholder who owns more than 50,000 shares of Old Common Stock has been
advised to consult her own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and
foreign tax effects of the transaction in light of her individual
circumstances.
<PAGE>
Special taxation and withholding rules may apply to any stockholder
that is a nonresident alien or a foreign corporation. Those rules are
beyond the scope of this discussion and should be discussed with a personal
tax advisor. Each stockholder will be required to provide his or her
social security or other taxpayer identification number (or, in some
instances, certain other information) to the Company in connection with
the Transaction for reporting purposes. The letter of transmittal will
require such stockholder to deliver such information when the certificates
for shares of Old Common Stock are surrendered.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK; DIVIDENDS; TRADING VOLUME
For the periods indicated below, the following tables sets forth the
high and low bid prices of the Company s Common Stock as reported in the
"pink sheets" for the over-the counter market, rounded to the nearest
1/16th of a dollar. The table represents prices between dealers that do
not include retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions, nor do they
represent actual transactions.

Sales information was not reported to the Company by the National Quotation
Bureau until the third quarter of 1996. The first transaction reported to
the Company was the October 16, 1996 sale of 2,000 shares at $0.06 (1/16)
per share.
The Company has not paid a dividend on the Common Stock in the
past two years and has no plans to commence dividend payments in the
foreseeable future. Because of the Company's cash needs, it is unlikely
that the Company will be able to commence dividend payments in the
foreseeable future.
As of October 30, 1996, there were approximately 4,227 record holders
of the Common Stock. Following the Transaction, there will be one record
holder of the Common Stock.
<PAGE>
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as of October 30, 1996 by: (i)

Chief Executive Officer and the most highly compensated executive officers
whose compensation exceeded $100,000 in fiscal 1995; and (iv) all

There has been no change in control of the Company since the beginning of
its last fiscal year, nor are there any arrangements which may result in a
change in control of the small business issuer.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
IV. The Corporation shall have authority to issue an aggregate of 40
shares of Common Stock, par value $50,000.00 per share. Such class of
shares may be uncertificated, as may be designated by the Board of
Directors, provided that any such designation shall not apply to shares
represented by a certificate until the certificate is surrendered to the
Corporation. Simultaneously with the effective date of this amendment (the
"Effective Date"), each share of the Corporation's Common Stock, par value
$1.00 per share, issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date (the "Old
Common Stock") shall automatically and without any action on the part of
the holder thereof be reclassified as and changed into one fifty-thousandth
(1/50,000) of a share of the Corporation's Common Stock, par value
$50,000.00 per share (the "New Common Stock"), subject to the treatment of
fractional share interests as described below. No certificates or scrip
representing fractional share interests in New Common Stock will be issued,
and no such fractional share interests will entitle the record holder
thereof to vote, or to any rights of a shareholder of the Corporation. A
record holder of certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock ("Old
Certificates," whether one or more) shall receive, in lieu of any fraction
of a share of New Common Stock to which the record holder would otherwise
be entitled, a cash payment therefor in an amount equal to Twenty-Five
Cents ($0.25) for each share of Old Common Stock. From and after the
Effective Date, Old Certificates representing at least Fifty Thousand
(50,000) shares of Old Common Stock shall represent only the right to
receive, upon surrender to the Company's Transfer Agent for cancellation, a
certificate or certificates (the "New Certificates," whether one or more)
representing the number of whole shares of the New Common Stock into which
and for which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by the Old
Certificates so surrendered are reclassified and changed under the terms
hereof (and, where applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares as
provided herein, without interest). From and after the Effective Date, Old
Certificates held by shareholders of the Corporation that own fewer than
Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of Old Common Stock ("Fractional
Shareholders") shall not be transferrable and shall represent only the
right to receive, upon surrender to the Company's Transfer Agent for
cancellation, cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided herein
without interest. The share transfer books of the Corporation as they
relate to shares of Old Common Stock held by Fractional Shareholders shall
be closed and no further transfers of said shares shall thereafter be made.
In determining which shareholders of the Corporation are Fractional
Shareholders, the Corporation will consider the number of shares of Old
Common Stock held of record by each person who appears as the owner of
shares as of the Effective Date in the record of shareholders maintained by
the Corporation, except that (i) if a holder of record of Fifty Thousand
(50,000) or more shares of Old Common Stock has certified to the
Corporation that a portion of such shares is owned beneficially as of the
Effective Date by a person who beneficially owns less than Fifty Thousand
(50,000) such shares in the aggregate, the Corporation will (subject to
receipt of such evidence of such ownership as the Corporation may require)
deem such beneficial owner to be a Fractional Shareholder and make payment
for such Fractional Shareholder's shares of Old Common Stock by payment to
the holder of record thereof for the account of such Fractional Shareholder
and (ii) if it appears to the Corporation (based on such evidence as may be
available and the Corporation considers adequate) that a beneficial owner
owns Fifty Thousand (50,000) or more shares of Old Common Stock as of the
Effective Date, then, notwithstanding any holding of record of all or any
portion of such shares by another person, the beneficial and record owners
of such shares will not be deemed to be Fractional Shareholders with
respect to such shares and will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares
only for any portion of such shares of Old Common Stock that exceeds a
multiple of Fifty Thousand (50,000).

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in June, 1968.
Business done and intended to be done:
The principal markets for electrical lighting fixtures are
firms engaged in the installation of electrical fixtures in
construction projects and firms installing new or replacement
electrical fixtures in their own facilities.
The principal market for electric motors and related services
is industry in the Western Pennsylvania area.
The market for the Registrant's investment in real estate is in
Luquillo, Puerto Rico and Irwin, Pennsylvania.
The sale of the Registrant's products, except real estate, is
conducted by direct retail sales to manufacturers or sales to
distributors. Real estate sales are conducted by agents of the
Registrant.
There have been no significant changes in the kinds of products
or services rendered or in markets or methods of distribution
since the beginning of Registrant's fiscal year.
The sources and availability of raw material essential to
Registrant's business are not significant factors; however, the
profitability of Registrant's manufacture, remanufacture,
repair and sale of coils, lighting products, transformers,
electric motors and similar equipment is affected by the price
of materials.
Patents, licenses, franchises and concessions are not
significant factors to Registrant's business. Also, none of
the Registrant's segments are significantly seasonal.
There are three significant customers of the Company's
Electrical Lighting Products Division and one significant
customer of the Company's Electrical Motor Repair Division.
These customers accounted for approximately 90% and 10% of the
net revenue of each respective division and 58% of the
Company's total net sales. All significant customers are
independent of the Registrant. See note 14 to the Registrant's
financial statements.

Management expects cash flow to be restrictive over the next few
years as available cash will be used to liquidate the notes
payable and accrued interest owed by the Registrant. Major
factors affecting the Registrant's liquidity include the
following:
1. At the present time, related parties, which are owed in
excess of $2.1 million in notes payable and accrued
interest, have not charged the Registrant interest on the
portion of the liability representing accrued interest.
2. The Registrant has an available line of credit with Dollar
Bank for $150,000 with annual interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 1-1/2%. As of December 31, 1995, $91,000 had
been borrowed on the line of credit.
3. The Registrant continues to actively attempt to sell its
property in Puerto Rico. Management believes the property
to have a value in excess of two million dollars, but
recognizes that achieving this value will require
additional time and effort which may be extended and
substantial.
4. The Company also sold property in Irwin, Pennsylvania
during 1995 and 1996 with proceeds totalling approximately
$300,000. The gain from mortgage foreclosure in 1994 represents the
market value of these properties, less the cost of acquisition.
Capital Resources
There are no commitments for any major capital expenditures at
December 31, 1995.
Net Sales
The 1995 manufacturing sales of $2,477,000 reflect a decrease of
$1,027,000 for the year. This decrease was primarily
attributable to decreased volume of electrical lighting products
sales due to a significant decrease from a major customer, whose store
renovation schedule has been lengthened and whose parent company has been
experiencing financial difficulties. The Registrant is actively pursuing
alternative business areas and anticipates sales may remain constant or
decline in 1996.
Cost of Product Sold
The cost of raw material, labor and purchased services are
stable, with the exception of normal inflationary increases.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales has decreased 3.5% due to the
implementation of increases in certain market prices during 1995.
Research and Development Expenses
There have been no significant research and development expenses
during the last two fiscal years.
<PAGE>
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of
attorney fees, are stable. Attorney fees decreased in 1995 by
approximately $4,000. The percentage of selling, general and administrative
expense to sales has increased 6% in 1995 due to decreased sales volume
with no feasible alternative for further reducing selling, general and
administrative expense.
Interest and Financing Expense
The interest rate on the notes payable to related parties is
prime plus 1% as it was in years previous to 1995.
Net Earnings
The Company's ability to increase profitability is dependent on a
number of factors. The drop in gross sales volume at the lighting division
is directly related to the decrease in business from its major customer,
which is dependent on their recovery from the current industry recession.
Increased sales volume through a wider customer base would have a salutary
effect on profitability as well as the conclusion of litigation (as
mentioned in Note 9 to the financial statements).
The sale of the land held for sale would also have a positive
effect on net earnings.
Business in General
Backlogs existing for the electrical lighting products were
approximately $500,000 and $1,000,000 as of December 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, respectively. A portion of such backlog must
await release instructions from the purchaser and can be held for
some time. However, all of the backlog can be delivered within
the current fiscal year.
The manufacture and sale of electrical lighting products and the
manufacture and repair of electric motors and similar equipment
are highly competitive. Numerous larger companies with greater
resources compete with the Registrant in the market for these
products. Sales of lighting products are directly affected by
the level of industrial and commercial construction. The
Registrant's sales of land investment in Puerto Rico are affected
by the general economic conditions of Puerto Rico.
Registrant employs approximately 25 employees relating to the
manufacture and sale of electric lighting products and
approximately 10 employees relating to the manufacture and repair
of electric motors and similar equipment and the distribution of
electrical products. There are not expected to be significant
changes in the number of employees in 1996.

Shop Materials Company, a corporation in which all voting
securities are owned by Vincent E. Oswald, received certain
accounting services, office space, office staff, telephone, and
management services from the Company and reimbursed the Company
for such services.
In 1995, Shop Materials Company paid approximately $46,700 for
such services. The Company believes that amounts received for
such services and space are fair and reasonable and are as fair
as amounts which would be received from non-affiliates for such
services and space.
Gretchen Oswald has loaned the Company prior to December 31, 1995
$60,000 and $20,000 payable on demand with interest at 10% and
8%, respectively. There is no outstanding interest on these
loans at December 31, 1995.
Vincent E. Oswald and Shop Materials Company have, from time to
time prior to and including the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995, made various loans to the Company, payable upon demand with
interest at the prime rate plus one (1%) percent. The present
outstanding balance of such loans is $1,027,890. The terms of
the loans are as favorable as the Company could have obtained
from unrelated parties. The outstanding interest on the above
loans to and including December 31, 1995 is $1,067,933.
Neither Mr. Oswald nor Shop Materials Company have charged the
Company interest on the accrued interest balance and have
provided the Company flexibility in making payments on the
interest.<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment - The cost of the assets is
depreciated using straight-line and accelerated methods over
their estimated useful lives for financial statement and tax
return purposes.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

In addition, interest expense for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, pertaining to notes payable to related
parties, amounted to approximately $120,674 and $104,000,
respectively.
During 1994, the Company purchased an office building from a
relative of an officer for $62,250.
<PAGE>
7. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The Company owns land in Puerto Rico which is being actively
offered for sale. This land is recorded at the Company's
cost, $557,439 and $582,861 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, which is estimated to be less than net
realizable value.
The Company owned rental property in Irwin, Pennsylvania
which was being actively offered for sale. During 1996,
management of the Company sold this property for $232,000.
8. INCOME TAXES
As required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", the Company uses the liability method of accounting
for income taxes.
For Federal Income Tax reporting purposes, the Company has
available $2,400,000 of net operating loss carryforwards as
of December 31, 1995. If unused, these amounts will expire
in varying amounts beginning in 1997 through 2010. For state
income tax reporting purposes, the Company has $820,000 of
net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1995. If
unused, these amounts will expire in varying amounts
beginning in 1996 and 1997.
These losses result in a deferred tax asset which has been
reduced to zero by a valuation allowance due to a trend of
minimal taxable income in prior years.
1995 1994
Deferred Tax Asset $ 891,000 $ 912,000
Valuation Allowance (891,000) (912,000)
$ -0- $ -0-
Significant components of income tax expense from continuing
operations consist of the following at December 31, 1995 and
1994:
Current - State $ -0- $ 3,794
Puerto Rico 32,000 -0-
$ 32,000 $ 3,794
<PAGE>
9. LITIGATION
On June 21, 1990, the Company was awarded damages of
$1,009,000 from a former employee of the Company and his
related entities. The judgement was the result of a long-
standing suit by the Company against the former employee and
his related entities. The Company is currently involved in
a lis pendens action in order to collect the judgement.
In 1992, the Company received $171,000 as settlement in a
lawsuit with a financial institution related to the lawsuit
against the former employee. The net proceeds were used to
reduce a receivable in the amount of $44,016 with the
remaining $126,984 recorded as income in 1992. The Company
used the proceeds to purchase three first mortgages from the
financial institution secured by three rental properties.
The mortgagee of each of these properties was the former
employee. The mortgagee defaulted on payment on all the
mortgages. The Company took possession of these properties
during 1994. The gain from mortgage foreclosure reflected in 1994
represents the market value of these properties, less the costs of
acquisition. The properties were sold in 1995 and 1996.
(See Note 7)
10. CONTINUING OPERATIONS
At December 31, 1995 the Company had negative working capital
of $1,468,800, and shareholders' deficit of $351,126. As
discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company
owes related parties in excess of $2.1 million in loans and
accrued interest. In the past, the officer has not charged
the Company interest on the portion of the debt representing
accrued interest and has only demanded payment to the extent
of available cash flow. Continued operations of the Company
are dependent on receiving continued favorable financial
assistance from the officer. The officer has represented
that he will continue to provide this assistance. It is the
intent of the Company that available proceeds from the sale
of Real Estate Held for Sale will be used to liquidate this
obligation.
11. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The principal markets for electrical lighting products are
firms engaged in the installation of electrical fixtures in
construction projects and firms installing new or replacement
electrical fixtures in their own facilities.
The principal market for electric motors and related services
is industry in the Western Pennsylvania area.
The sole market for the Registrant's investment in real
estate is in Luquillo, Puerto Rico.
All customer receivables are unsecured.
12. COMMON STOCK
Common stock has a stated value of $1 per share. There are
2,000,000 shares authorized, and 734,787 shares issued and
outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

8. INCOME TAXES
Significant components of income tax expense from continuing
operations consist of the following at March 31, 1996 and 1996.
1996 1995
Current - State $ -0- $ -0-
- Puerto Rico $134,000 $ -0-
$134,000 $ -0-
For Federal income tax reporting purpose, the Company has available
approximately $2,400,000 of net operating loss carry forwards as of
December 31, 1995. If unused, these will expire in varying amounts
beginning in 1997 through 2010.

net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1995. If
unused, these amounts will expire in varying amounts beginning in
1996 and 1997.
These losses result in a deferred tax asset which has been reduced
to zero by a valuation allowance due to a trend of minimal taxable
income in prior years.
9. LITIGATION
On June 21, 1990, the Company was awarded damages of $1,009,000 from
a former employee of the Company and his related entities. The
judgement was the result of a long-standing suit by the Company

Company is currently involved in lis pendens lawsuit in order
to collect the judgement. In 1992, the Company received $171,000 as
settlement in a lawsuit with a financial institution related to the
lawsuit against the former employee. The net proceeds were used to
reduce a receivable in the amount of $44,016 with the remaining
$126,984 recorded as income in 1992. The Company used the proceeds
to purchase three first mortgages from the financial institution
secured by three rental properties. The mortgagee of each of these
properties was the former employee. The mortgagee defaulted
payments on all the mortgages. The Company took possession of these
properties during 1994. The properties were sold in 1995 and in
1996.
10. COMMON STOCK
Common stock has a stated value of $l per share. There are
2,000,000 shares authorized, and 734,787 shares issued and

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Revenues from manufacturing for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
were $590,921 compared to $815,507 for the same period in 1995. This
represents a decrease in Revenues of $224,586. The declines in revenue
are principally in the lighting division. Sales to major customers
during the first quarter of this year are comparable to the low sales
volume realized in the prior year. The decrease in this quarter is
primarily due to a reduction of orders for specialty custom lighting
fixtures. Management is attempting to broaden the customer base
through increased selling efforts in the lighting division.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 increased by approximately $1,760 from the previous
year. Gross margin has declined from 19% to 10%. This is the result
of the severe decline in sales volume and the resulting sales being
insufficient to cover the fixed manufacturing overhead.
Real estate sales netted a $652,312 profit. These proceeds will be
used to reduce related party debt. Management believes both the terms
and repayment schedule of the related party debt to be favorable to
the company.
This resulted in net income of $424,694 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to a loss of ($8,136) for the 1995 period.
This is an increase of $432,830.
Management is hopeful operating results of the Company will improve
during 1996, principally through increased sales volume and attracting
a broader customer base through increased selling efforts.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had negative working capital of
approximately ($761,000). This is caused principally by amounts owed
to related parties in excess of $2.0 million. The related parties
continue to provide favorable financial assistance to the company.
Management hereby affirms that the financial statements include all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make
the financial statements not misleading.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents-The Company considers all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment - The cost of the assets is
depreciated using the straight-line and accelerated methods over
their estimated useful lives for financial statement and tax
return purposes.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. INVENTORIES

8. INCOME TAXES
Significant components of income tax expense from continuing
operations consist of the following at June 30, 1996 and 1995.
1996 1995
Current - State $ -0- $ -0-
- Puerto Rico $134,000 $ -0-
$134,000 $ -0-
For Federal income tax reporting purpose, the Company has available
approximately $2,400,000 of net operating loss carry forwards as of
December 31, 1995. If unused, these will expire in varying amounts
beginning in 1997 through 2010.
For State income tax reporting purposes, the Company has $820,000 of
net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1995. If unused,
these amounts will expire in varying amounts beginning in 1996 and
1997.
These losses result in a deferred tax asset which has been reduced to
zero by a valuation allowance due to a trend of minimal taxable
income in prior years.
9. LITIGATION
On June 21, 1990, the Company was awarded damages of $1,009,000 from
a former employee of the Company and his related entities. The
judgement was the result of a long-standing suit by the Company
against the former employee and his related entities. The
Company is currently involved in several related lawsuits in order to
collect the judgement. In 1992, the Company received $171,000 as
settlement in a lawsuit with a financial institution related to the
lawsuit against the former employee. The net proceeds were used to
reduce a receivable in the amount of $44,016 with the remaining
$126,984 recorded as income in 1992. The Company used the proceeds
to purchase three first mortgages from the financial institution
secured by three rental properties. The mortgagee of each of these
properties was the former employee. The mortgagee defaulted payments
on all the mortgages. The Company took possession of these
properties during 1994. The properties were sold in 1995 and in
1996.
The Company is in the process of attempting to recover the
outstanding award against the Company's former employee. Remaining
assets of the employee have an estimated value of $200,000. The IRS
has a claim against the employee for $400,000. The Company has
reached an agreement with the IRS to split the proceeds of
approximately $200,000. The spouse of the debtor has filed
bankruptcy as an attempt to discharge the Company's claim which is
being processed through a lis pendens lawsuit.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Revenues from manufacturing for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
were $1,211,166 compared to $1,326,386 for the same period in 1995.
This represents a decrease in Revenues of $115,220, for the six month
period. Revenues from manufacturing for the second quarter have
increased $109,366 over the second quarter of last year. The
fluctuations in sales are principally in the lighting division. Sales
to major customers have increased during the second quarter and year
to date are approximately $60,000 ahead of the low sales volume
realized in 1995. Although sales of specialty custom lighting
fixtures increased $50,000 during the second quarter 1996 compared to
the second quarter 1995, this category of sales is still $130,000
below 1995 levels. Sales to major customers have still not returned
to the levels of years prior to 1995 and management is continuing an
attempt to broaden the customer base through increased selling
efforts. This drop in gross sales volume at the lighting division is
directly related to the decrease in business from its two major
customers, both of which are dependent on their recovery from the
current industry recession.
Selling , general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, increased by approximately $16,800 over the previous
year. This is the result of increased selling expenses and an
increase in legal fees pertaining to the actions against the former
employee mentioned in Note 9.
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1996, has remained the
same as the first six months of 1995 at approximately 12%.
Real estate sales netted a $652,312 profit. These proceeds have been
used to reduce related party debt. Management believes both the terms
and repayment schedule of the related party debt to be favorable to
the company.
This resulted in net income of $363,447 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, compared to a loss of ($146,094) for the 1995 period. This
is an increase of $509,541.
Management is hopeful that the results of operations for the remainder
of 1996 will improve as a result of augmenting the selling efforts,
however, it is likely that total sales volume for 1996 will remain
stagnant or possibly decline from 1995 levels.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had negative working capital of
approximately ($812,000). This is caused principally by amounts owed
to related parties in excess of $1.6 million. The related parties
continue to provide favorable financial assistance to the company.
Management hereby affirms that the financial statements include all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make
the financial statements not misleading.

depreciated using the straight-line and accelerated methods over
their estimated useful lives for financial statement and tax
return purposes.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires

9. LITIGATION
On June 21, 1990, the Company was awarded damages of $1,009,000 from
a former employee of the Company and his related entities. The

against the former employee and his related entities. The
Company is currently involved in several related lawsuits in order to
collect the judgement. In 1992, the Company received $171,000 as
settlement in a lawsuit with a financial institution related to the
lawsuit against the former employee. The net proceeds were used to
reduce a receivable in the amount of $44,016 with the remaining
$126,984 recorded as income in 1992. The Company used the proceeds
to purchase three first mortgages from the financial institution
secured by three rental properties. The mortgagee of each of these
properties was the former employee. The mortgagee defaulted payments
on all the mortgages. The Company took possession of these
properties during 1994. The properties were sold in 1995 and in

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Revenues from manufacturing for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, were $1,741,137 compared to $1,994,674 for the same period in
1995. This represents a decrease in Revenues of $253,537. The
declines in revenue are principally in the lighting division and
approximately $100,000 is due to a decrease in orders from a major
customer whose retail store renovations have been cut back. The
remaining decline is attributed to an ineffective sales force.
Certain actions were taken during the third quarter 1996 to augment
the selling force in the lighting division as well as the motor repair
division.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, increased by approximately $31,800 for the
previous year. This is the result of increased selling expenses in
the third quarter and an increase in legal fees pertaining to the
actions against the former employee mentioned in Note 9.
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 13%
compared to 16% for the first nine months of 1995. This is due to the
decline in sales for 1996, without the ability to further reduce the
fixed manufacturing overhead.
Real estate sales netted a $652,312 profit. These proceeds have been
used to reduce related party debt. Management believes both the terms
and repayment schedule of the related party debt to be favorable to
the company.
This resulted in net income of $458,741 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to a loss of ($149,486) for the 1995
period. This is an increase of $608,227.
Management is hopeful that the results of operations for the fourth
quarter 1996 will improve as a result of augmenting the selling force,
however, it is likely that total sales volume for 1996 will remain
stagnant or possibly decline from 1995 levels.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had negative working capital of
approximately ($710,214). This is caused principally by amounts owed
to related parties in excess of $1.6 million. The related parties
continue to provide favorable financial assistance to the Company.
Management hereby affirms that the financial statements include all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make
the financial statements not misleading.
